Cameron Heath: Unilever NZ director on four-day working week trial

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Thursdays

Confidence that the four-day working week is just as beneficial for businesses as it is for their workers. Unilever New Zealand has run a voluntary trial for 18 months, with encouraging results. The trial saw stress drop by 33 percent, feelings of strength and vigour at work increase by 15 percent and work/life conflict fall by 67 percent. Managing director Cameron Heath told Mike Hosking the four-day week gives them a bit of skin in the game with their productivity. He says it creates more value for the business, and creates a reward by thinking creatively to remove things that don't bring value to anyone.
